Debra, sharing your story has been amazing and encouraging for many..I am thankful that this one idiot, as I have called him, could not strike his negativity upon you..I, for one, am no victim either and read your words for encouragement and continued motivation to keep working and moving and not let the illnesses I have control me! Thank you for the awareness you have brought to many!

I am so glad I was told about you through a mutual friend Kathy Ann.. I am looking forward to reading more of your post... I almost died July 2009 when my body crashed for no apparent reason - my immune system shut down and I couldn't breath, walk, move or anything - my husband told me that I looked like a tree someone forgot to water and no one thought I would live. Here I am a mother of 6 trying to exist in a pain filled life... I am trying to find my way back to encouraging others, and have been all alone in this these past few years - my family depends on me and because no matter how much pain I am in I seem to find a way to push through and be there for them more times than not - It is extremely difficult and it is very lonely - because no one talks about it and when I say darn I hurt - it just sits in the air and no one will acknowledge or support me. My husband is not supportive he is evasive - which makes me so stubborn I will work myself into such tailspins that I end up worse off .. I don't know how to get him on board - and not sure he really is interested himself - he is very absorbed in the lives of the children and his new business and his busy job - that I am an after thought if a thought at all. I have always been a stubborn determined person - pushing through and doing anything I put my mind to .. I find myself being lost as I mentioned before - hoping to find my light again and gain if not physical strength my mental strength which I have always prided myself as having. I look forward to following you and your progress. Thanks so much for sharing - Tammy Nash (mommyof6inpain.blogspot.com)
